Ten Degrees of Separation – (Chapter: Recasting the Primal Scene)
"Water’s ready." A voice behind her, and Kim turned to see Abby leaning around the door frame. She watched the subtle register of her own contemplative expression in the other woman’s eyes. "You okay?"
Kim managed an easy smile and shrugged. "I was going to put some coffee on."
"We can have coffee later," Abby replied, reaching out and linking their hands, tugging Kim gently away from the melancholy precipice of her thoughts.
She allowed herself to be led into the steaming shower, folding her arms around Abby’s slighter shape from behind and letting the water rush over their twinned forms. "You’re so very small," she murmured in the nurse’s ear.
"I didn’t notice you complaining before," Abby teased, resting her head against Kim’s chest.
"That’s because I wasn’t," she replied dryly. "It’s just…" She hesitated– a newfound tenderness resting uneasily amid the scattered debris of her feelings for Kerry and the renegade hope that things between them might change. Conversations about pragmatism and seriously casual sex aside, Kim knew Abby Lockhart wasn’t a woman to be trifled with; but she had no idea how to incorporate this change into the daily functioning of her life. Unthinkingly she tightened her embrace, nuzzling the warm pulse point in Abby’s neck and shutting her eyes to the impossibility of the situation.
Turning in their embrace, Abby twined her arms around Kim’s neck and pulled the taller woman down for a lingering kiss. "Shh…." she whispered between lazy tangles of their lips.
Droplets of water traced serpentine paths down the slender breadth of Abby’s shoulders, and Kim lightly echoed their movements with her fingers. "This mean I don’t have to have all the answers?"
"I don’t know how you could, Kim. God knows I don’t."
At this, Kim yielded to the persuasive strength of Abby’s mouth once more; allowing herself to delve deeper into the uncertainty of what was between them– bypassing the ephemeral notion of what ought to be and instead tethering herself to the undeniable reality of their physical connection. She pulled Abby still closer, hands spreading touching meeting over the expanse of her back. The slick slip of wet skin on skin washed away the trace evidence of the night before; leaving, however, the resonance of their need firmly intact.

I have to admit that I stopped watching ER several years ago, but after reading this, two things came to mind. 1. If I could have watched this story, with this dialogue on my TV screen I would still be watching faithfully each and every week. 2. This was a great reminder of why I shouldn’t ever work in a hospital…way too much gossip!!!! LOL Wonderful story…beautiful writing. Thank you for posting this here. And thank you for inspiring Jacky. The degrees of separation continue to prove true. While you were writing this, did you ever think that because of someone somewhere reading it, that a fan site would be established for a completely different show, that would in turn change thousands of lives all around the world? I know, amazing isn’t it…the power of a story. Thanks again.

Gosh! This is fantastic. I love all the characters on ER and you’ve done a truly excellent job with all the conflicting emotions and the power of irresistible forces of attraction between Abby and Kim. I enjoyed every word.
